Lad Lit?

Books, written by men, for a predominantly female audience? Yes of course.
Ms. Taken Identity by Dan Begley is a great book that takes a look at men writing for the chick lit industry. It's a book about a book, and I read it cover to cover in just two days. I loved it. Reading from the male point of view is always an interesting experience. One I thoroughly enjoy. The writing feels sharper. Less fluffy. It's aggressive active voice. No passive voice here. The romance was heart warming, the sex PG and the character development amazing. Please read!

And this is not the only one of its kind. While more popular in the UK, there are a few North American authors in this genre. For example:


Try any of these authors, and I promise you will not be disappointed. Happy reading
